JL. also tried to get an F35 but no joy. Only thing they wanted to sell was Yak or Viper. Don't know if GJC is a JL kit or something else.

Assaf,
Congratulations on some nice low level flying. Judging by all the smiles, looks like a good time was had by all. Glad to see the F-4 is still going strong. Still loving mine.

Ronnie

Kevin,
I think you will really like this jet.... especially the flight characterestics. It's so tame for an F-4... much in part to the thicker than scale airfoil. It has an unbelievable flameout glide as I witnessed a few months back due to running out of fuel. Fortunately, it was in far more capable hands than mine
at a not so forgiving field in emergency situations.

I have had several F4's and loved them all. Sold all but one. It was the Century Jets one that after 7 years the elevator mechanism failed and it spun in. Been missing F4's ever since. Jet Legend is just the perfect size. Easy to transport without trailer. Maybe a slightly bigger one would be perfect!!!!![

Anyone know if my old JL F-4 is still around.
Wonder sometimes why I sold it.
